Building a Career in Venture: From First Role to Future Leader

Building a Career in Venture: From First Role to Future Leader

Join us at Hotel Zeppelin San Francisco for an exciting event where we will discuss what’s it really like to build a career in venture capital—and how do early-career investors grow into decision-makers and leaders? This panel brings together VCs, from early professionals to leaders, to share what they’ve learned since stepping into the industry, how they’ve carved out influence at their firms, and what it takes to progress toward more senior roles.

We’ll explore the reality behind the job—beyond just deal sourcing—including how to build trust with partners, develop investment conviction, and earn a seat at the table in internal conversations. Whether you’re already in VC or exploring your long-term path in the space, you’ll gain an honest, inside view into how early-career investors are shaping their future in a field that’s anything but linear.
